GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 514280
Use of various Dialogs causes crash 95% of the time
Last modified: 2008-10-30 20:09:11 UTC
I use Windows xp media centre edition, version 2002, service pack 2. Zone Alarm firewall in which the Gimp is custom tailored for easy access. I previously had pre 2.4 versions of The Gimp on this computer and they ran fine. I've tried altering the compatibility mode when the latest Gimp started crashing, this made no difference. The problem: Open Gimp, Don't open an image, go to File - Dialogs - then error console or tools or templates or document history or images or buffers or fonts or palettes (I stopped checking at this point and came here.) In any of those Dialogs open the menu tab that gives the drop down menu and put the arrow over the drop down menu, don't even click on a menu, just put the arrow over it then move it back up to the menu tab and shut the drop down, hit the red button to shut the menu tab and up comes the error message "Gimp 2.4.exe has encountered a problem......" windows asks to send a report and everything closes down. In some cases it does require to click on a drop down menu item, not use it, just click on it, then close it, close the menu tab, hit the red button, hey presto, crash. Additional detail which may be related, I found this problem when trying to sort out the constant crashing of this installation while I was working on images. I went to the error console after such a crash to get a report there, there was no report but on closing the error console Gimp crashed again. I re-started Gimp, worked on an image, when it crashed, I re-started, went to error console hoping there'd be a report this time, no report but another crash, so that's when I tried the other Dialogs and found the same thing happening in all of them I tried. The original crashes I could find no pattern to, some were in single layer xcf or png images, some were in multi layer images, no particular tool was in use that I could identify. About 75% of the time the Gimp would crash before I finished my work. The two things might be related but the only one I could give you a clear pattern to was this Dialog menu tab bug. I had 2.4.3 installed last week, it crashed 75% of the time but again no pattern I could write a reasonable bug about so I simply uninstalled it and went back to a version I knew was stable, the older one on the windows link on the Gimp main page. When 2.4.4 came out I thought I'd give it another shot. Same problems. I've not added any scripts or plugins to this latest installation, it's just as it comes, except for whatever it borrowed from my previous installation. Here's something, when I installed the newest version the install wizard said it was uninstalling the 2.2 version but I actually have two folders in my c:/docs and settings/user folder one for 2.2 and one for 2.4. Just in case that might cause confusion of some kind for the Gimp, thought I'd tell you. My c:/program folder has only the one Gimp folder. When the crash occurs while I have an image open the error message is different from the Dialog menu crash. In the crashes while working in an image the Zone Alarm dialog pops up and says gimp.exe is trying to access Dr Watson and whichever button you hit, allow or deny, the gimp closes on the spot. That's everything I can tell you, hope it was clear. I love my Gimp, it would be cool to be able to use the latest without blood pressure problems. :) Mikel.
Looks like some sort of incompatibility on your system.
Mikel, There is really no information in your bug report that helps to pin down the problem (in spite of your efforts). The most that can be said at this point is that these sorts of random-looking crashes often turn out to be caused by other software that is installed on the system, putting dll's in the wrong places and causing them to be used by Gimp instead of the correct ones. If this gives you any ideas, please let us know.
OK I don't know if this information will be of any help but I managed to work out how to get at the information MS sends as an error report when this problem occurs. The following information is the text file generated as that error report. I had the tool dialogue box open and when I closed the Gimp (from the file menu) the main window closed, the dialogue box hung then the error report dialogue popped up (as usual) I found where it was holding the text report and copied it, here it is. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?> <DATABASE> <EXE NAME="gimp-2.4.exe" FILTER="GRABMI_FILTER_PRIVACY"> <MATCHING_FILE NAME="bzip2.dll"

This is a clean install, just done today, I uninstalled all my Gimp files, though the uninstall process still left the folders in my "user" path, I deleted them myself. Re-installed from the website. First time I used the new installation, same old problem. I hope this is more useful than my first lot of information. :) Mikel.
The only really helpful thing you could do would be to try a newer version of GTK+. The one that is shipped with the 2.4.4 appears to be rather buggy.
